An exciting opportunity to apply for eight fully funded PhD positions in College of Arts, Technology and Environment, UWE Bristol.

The expected start date of these studentships is 1^st October 2023.

The closing date for applications is 19^th May 2023.

The College of Arts, Technology and Environment at the University of the West of England, Bristol has a strong and continually evolving research environment. We submitted a significant proportion of our staff to the 2021 Research Excellence Framework (REF 2021) and over 75% of our submitted research was judged to be internationally excellent or of world leading quality.

We welcome PhD applications that focus on one or more of our core themes, and that align with one or more of the College’s disciplinary strengths.

Core Research Themes:

• Creative Industries/Technologies
• Digital Arts/Design/Technologies
• Health and Wellbeing
• Inclusivity and Social Justice
• Sustainability and Climate Change

Indicative Disciplinary Areas:

Aerospace Robotics, AI/Machine Learning, Architecture, Arts/Humanities, Built Environment, Conventional/Unconventional Computing, Engineering, Geoscience, Immersion, Mathematical sciences, New/Evolving Media, Screen Cultures/Industries, Writing and Creative Practice.

We are very happy to receive applications from candidates interested in practice as research and applied research in any area.

Please see our College, Research Centre and Research Group web pages for more details of the College’s research areas and to identify a potential supervisor from our staff School lists. It is essential that you have contacted and gained the agreement of a suitable potential supervisor prior to your application.

Research proposals should be no more than 1500 words long and include an outline of the project relating it to the above themes, as well as making a case for the importance/timeliness of the project.

You would normally be expected to have a 2:1 degree in a relevant subject area. A related Masters degree or further appropriate research experience is desirable.

A recognised English language qualification is required.

Candidates for these PhD positions will be interviewed by a panel including the relevant School’s Associate Head for Research, members of the potential supervisory team, and a senior researcher from the School. Following this interview process, the successful candidates will be offered a studentship and unsuccessful candidates will be notified within two weeks of the interview.

Candidates who meet the criteria to study at UWE Bristol but are not offered one of the eight studentships will be offered the opportunity to consider pursuing a self-funded PhD.

We particularly encourage applications from Black, Asian, Multiple Heritage or Other Minority Ethnic candidates as we are currently under-represented in these areas within UWE Bristol. However, all appointments are made strictly on individual merit.

Funding

The full-time studentships are available from 01 October 2023 for a period of three and half years, subject to satisfactory progress, and include a tax-exempt stipend, which is currently £17,668 per annum.

In addition, full-time tuition fees will be covered for the same period.

If you have not heard from us by Friday 16^th June assume your application has been unsuccessful.
